== What contributes to score == | |||
Several major gameplay systems contribute to a playerβs total score. Each is converted from '''catalog resource costs''' (see weights), then divided into score units. | |||
Β | |||
=== Buildings === | |||
Constructing and upgrading buildings increases score because it represents long-term infrastructure development. Score is the '''sum of every completed upgrade''' on your colonies (planets and moons), from level 1 up to the current level. Each level uses that buildingβs catalog cost (typically '''1.5Γ''' per level). | |||
Β | |||
Example buildings include: | |||
* resource mines | * resource mines | ||
| Line 26: | Line 41: | ||
* shipyards | * shipyards | ||
* planetary infrastructure | * planetary infrastructure | ||
Queued upgrades that have not finished '''do not''' count. Alliance-system buildings (HQ / Division / Bastion) are paid from the alliance vault and '''do not''' add to your personal building score. | |||
After the sum, the soft-cap is applied. | |||
Important | === Research === | ||
Technological development is a major contributor to score. Each completed '''personal''' research level increases score from that levelβs catalog cost (typically '''2Γ''' per level). | |||
Β | |||
Important research areas include: | |||
* propulsion technologies | * propulsion technologies | ||
| Line 39: | Line 55: | ||
* shield technology | * shield technology | ||
* economic and industrial research | * economic and industrial research | ||
Alliance research is '''not''' part of this component. After the sum, the soft-cap is applied independently of buildings. | |||
Large fleets significantly increase an empireβs score, especially when they contain advanced warships. | === Fleet === | ||
Ships contribute to score based on their '''construction cost''' (not combat stats). Large fleets significantly increase an empireβs score, especially when they contain advanced warships. | |||
Counts: | |||
* | * ships in '''hangars''' on all of your colonies | ||
* | * ships in '''active fleets''' (traveling, stationed, returning, on a mission) | ||
Support ships such as cargo vessels and recyclers also contribute, though | Example ship classes include Fighters, Cruisers, Dreadnoughts, Carriers, and Titans. Support ships such as cargo vessels and recyclers also contribute, though each hull is worth less. | ||
Lost hull sitting in the Ship Graveyard awaiting buyback does '''not''' count. After buyback, recovered ships are hangar ships again and count immediately. | |||
This is the '''Fleet''' column on the Players leaderboard. | |||
=== Defenses === | |||
Planetary [[defenses]] also contribute to score: '''catalog unit cost Γ quantity''' on all of your colonies. Defensive structures represent the military investment of a colony. | |||
Examples include missile batteries, railgun towers, plasma cannons, and shield domes. | |||
Alliance-system turrets use a separate alliance pool and do not add here. This is the '''Defense''' column on the Players leaderboard. | |||
=== Alliance donations === | |||
Cumulative weighted value of resources you have donated into '''any''' alliance vault. Same resource weights as the other components. This is the only way idle resources (that never became buildings, ships, or research) still grant empire score. | |||
Alliance '''tax''' on mission returns also contributes when tax is credited to the vault. See [[Alliances]]. | |||
=== Colonies and infrastructure === | |||
Colonizing new planets does '''not''' add a flat colony bonus. New worlds increase score '''through''' the buildings, ships, and defenses you place on them β extra mines, yards, labs, and hangars. | |||
== Score formula == | |||
Every component starts from catalog costs: | |||
<code>rawValueΒ Β = floor(Ξ£ resource Γ weight) | |||
scoreUnitsΒ = ceil(rawValue / 1000)</code> | |||
'''Energy never counts''' (weight 0). | |||
= | Then: | ||
Β | <code>buildingScoreΒ = softCap(buildings) | ||
researchScoreΒ = softCap(research) | |||
Β totalScoreΒ Β = buildingScore + researchScore + shipScore + defenseScore + allianceDonationScore</code> | |||
Ships, defenses, and alliance donations are '''not''' soft-capped. | |||
In general: | |||
* expensive structures and technologies contribute more score | |||
* large fleets and turret walls significantly impact total score | |||
* '''ships and defenses''' reflect the '''current''' inventory β if they are destroyed, that score is removed; rebuilding restores it | |||
* '''buildings and research''' reflect the cumulative cost of '''current levels''' β losing or downgrading a level removes that levelβs cost | |||
* '''alliance donations''' are cumulative: they are not removed if you leave the alliance | |||
Scores refresh on a periodic engine tick (default '''30 minutes'''), and immediately after actions such as finishing research or donating to the vault. Opening '''My Rank''' recalculates your live breakdown; the published rank still comes from the last stored realm ranking. | |||

Example: a ship that costs 1,000 steel + 400 quartz is <code>floor(1000Γ1 + 400Γ1.5) = 1,600</code> raw, then <code>ceil(1600 / 1000) = 2</code> score per hull. | |||

Latest revision as of 09:11, 18 August 2026
Score represents the overall development level of an empire in Per Regna. It reflects the combined progress of a playerβs economy, technology, fleets, defenses, and alliance donations.
Score is used to:
- measure empire progression
- determine player rankings within a Realm
- unlock access to higher Realms
- compare the strength of different empires and alliances
As players expand their colonies, build fleets, research technologies, and donate to their alliance, their total score gradually increases. Fleet and defense scores are naturally bounded by tonnage. Building and research scores count 1:1 until 500B, then diminish so late-game infrastructure cannot dwarf military mass.
Weekly events and the Daily Race use a separate event-score β they do not add to this empire total. See Weekly events vs empire score.

What contributes to score
Several major gameplay systems contribute to a playerβs total score. Each is converted from catalog resource costs (see weights), then divided into score units.
Buildings
Constructing and upgrading buildings increases score because it represents long-term infrastructure development. Score is the sum of every completed upgrade on your colonies (planets and moons), from level 1 up to the current level. Each level uses that buildingβs catalog cost (typically 1.5Γ per level).
Example buildings include:
- resource mines
- research laboratories
- shipyards
- planetary infrastructure
Queued upgrades that have not finished do not count. Alliance-system buildings (HQ / Division / Bastion) are paid from the alliance vault and do not add to your personal building score.
After the sum, the soft-cap is applied.
Research
Technological development is a major contributor to score. Each completed personal research level increases score from that levelβs catalog cost (typically 2Γ per level).
Important research areas include:
- propulsion technologies
- weapons systems
- shield technology
- economic and industrial research
Alliance research is not part of this component. After the sum, the soft-cap is applied independently of buildings.
Fleet
Ships contribute to score based on their construction cost (not combat stats). Large fleets significantly increase an empireβs score, especially when they contain advanced warships.
Counts:
- ships in hangars on all of your colonies
- ships in active fleets (traveling, stationed, returning, on a mission)
Example ship classes include Fighters, Cruisers, Dreadnoughts, Carriers, and Titans. Support ships such as cargo vessels and recyclers also contribute, though each hull is worth less.
Lost hull sitting in the Ship Graveyard awaiting buyback does not count. After buyback, recovered ships are hangar ships again and count immediately.
This is the Fleet column on the Players leaderboard.
Defenses
Planetary defenses also contribute to score: catalog unit cost Γ quantity on all of your colonies. Defensive structures represent the military investment of a colony.
Examples include missile batteries, railgun towers, plasma cannons, and shield domes.
Alliance-system turrets use a separate alliance pool and do not add here. This is the Defense column on the Players leaderboard.
Alliance donations
Cumulative weighted value of resources you have donated into any alliance vault. Same resource weights as the other components. This is the only way idle resources (that never became buildings, ships, or research) still grant empire score.
Alliance tax on mission returns also contributes when tax is credited to the vault. See Alliances.
Colonies and infrastructure
Colonizing new planets does not add a flat colony bonus. New worlds increase score through the buildings, ships, and defenses you place on them β extra mines, yards, labs, and hangars.
Score formula
Every component starts from catalog costs:
rawValue = floor(Ξ£ resource Γ weight)
scoreUnits = ceil(rawValue / 1000)
Energy never counts (weight 0).
Then:
buildingScore = softCap(buildings)
researchScore = softCap(research)
totalScore = buildingScore + researchScore + shipScore + defenseScore + allianceDonationScore
Ships, defenses, and alliance donations are not soft-capped.
In general:
- expensive structures and technologies contribute more score
- large fleets and turret walls significantly impact total score
- ships and defenses reflect the current inventory β if they are destroyed, that score is removed; rebuilding restores it
- buildings and research reflect the cumulative cost of current levels β losing or downgrading a level removes that levelβs cost
- alliance donations are cumulative: they are not removed if you leave the alliance
Scores refresh on a periodic engine tick (default 30 minutes), and immediately after actions such as finishing research or donating to the vault. Opening My Rank recalculates your live breakdown; the published rank still comes from the last stored realm ranking.
Score resource weights
Rarer resources are worth more per unit:
| Resource | Weight |
|---|---|
| Steel | 1 |
| Quartz | 1.5 |
| Gas | 2 |
| Silicium | 3 |
| Iridium | 3.5 |
| Elerium | 4 |
| Energy | 0 |
Example: a ship that costs 1,000 steel + 400 quartz is floor(1000Γ1 + 400Γ1.5) = 1,600 raw, then ceil(1600 / 1000) = 2 score per hull.
Building / research soft-cap
Fleet + defense are bounded by tonnage (~500B combined score at the ceiling). Buildings and research have no such hard limit and can reach tens of trillions of raw cost-score. Each of those two components is mapped independently:
| Raw component | Effective component |
|---|---|
| β€ 500B | 1:1 |
| 500B | 500B + 500B Γ excess / (excess + 5T) |
effective = 500B + 500B Γ (raw β 500B) / ((raw β 500B) + 5T)
The curve approaches 1T per component and never hits a hard wall:
| Raw building or research | Effective |
|---|---|
| 500B | 500B |
| 1.5T | ~583B |
| 5.5T | 750B |
| 30T | ~929B |
| 40T | ~944B |
At ~30β40T of actual building or research investment, that componentβs displayed score sits near 1T, in line with a maxed fleet + defense.
What does not count
- resources sitting in warehouses, fleets, or the alliance vault (until donated)
- buildings / ships / defenses in queue
- alliance HQ / Division / Bastion buildings and alliance defenses
- alliance research
- Ship Graveyard hull not yet bought back
- energy costs
- weekly event / Daily Race points (different system)
Realm progression
Score determines when players can ascend to higher Realms. Realms represent major stages of technological and strategic progression. Each Realm unlocks new ships, buildings, research, and gameplay systems.
Players gain access to the next Realm once their empire reaches the required score threshold (shown on the HUD realm bar and Settings β Profile). Live values are server-configured; typical published thresholds:
| Realm | Required score |
|---|---|
| Realm 2 | 1,000,000 |
| Realm 3 | 50,000,000 |
| Realm 4 | 2,500,000,000 |
Reaching each milestone usually requires multiple colonies, advanced research, powerful fleets, and large industrial infrastructure.
Realm 1 also shows smaller onboarding brackets (I-1 β¦ I-4) so the path to Realm 2 is visible in pieces. Rank is per realm: #1 is the highest total in your realm, not the whole galaxy. Recently ascended commanders (last 7 days) appear on the Players leaderboard.
Once per day the server snapshots score and rank. My Rank shows the delta since that snapshot (score β/β and ranks gained or lost).

Battle / mission / alliance boards are cached on the order of 15 minutes.
How other systems use score
| System | Role of score |
|---|---|
| Realm ascension | Progress to the next realm |
| Alliance harvest / survey pool | Daily shares weighted by βscore so lower-score members still get a floor |
| Pirate boss loot | Inverse-score lift for smaller commanders β see Pirate Bosses |

| Expeditions | Per-run loot ceiling grows with score β see Expeditions |
Attack βbullyβ limits and war-fatigue loot cuts use fleet tonnage, not this score number β see Fleet Combat.
Weekly events vs empire score
Weekly events and the Daily Race award a different point total from in-week actions (battles, expeditions, building, and so on). That number ranks event groups, unlocks milestone rewards, and feeds alliance events / league LP. It is not added to empire total score.
Event leaderboards live on the Events screen (Weekly / Daily toggle), not on the Score Leaderboard. Quick Guide: Settings β Quick Guides β Weekly Events.
Strategic considerations
Score growth depends heavily on playstyle. Different strategies lead to different score distributions.
Economic strategy
Focus on mines, production, and infrastructure. Building score grows steadily and, late game, is soft-capped so it cannot run away from fleet.
Military strategy
Focus on fleet production and combat. Ship and defense scores track current hull β losses drop you on the Fleet / Defense boards until you rebuild. Tonnage is the real ceiling here.
Technological strategy
Prioritize advanced research to unlock powerful ships and buildings. Research score is also soft-capped after 500B.
Balanced empires typically achieve the most stable long-term growth: enough yards and research to field a tonnage-capped fleet, without pouring endless resources into uncapped buildings that convert poorly after the soft-cap.
